Abstract

At the pinnacle of technological advancements, artificial intelligence (AI) significantly influences our lives, with its applications continually expanding. In this context, the concept of AI literacy is crucial for individuals to comprehend and effectively utilize AI technologies. AI literacy involves learning AI concepts and techniques, critically evaluating information provided by AI, and analyzing socially beneficial content to integrate into new applications. In line with emphasizing the importance of this concept, this study aims to explain the concept of AI literacy by drawing on existing research in the literature. To address this goal, the research questions "What is artificial intelligence?" "What is AI literacy?" and “The Importance and Education of Artificial Intelligence Literacy” are explored. The study delves into topics such as the development of artificial intelligence, the definition of AI literacy, and why it is important for societies, contributing insights to the literature. As a result, an understanding is established that contributes to individuals leading lives in harmony with AI technologies.

Gelişen Bir Paradigma: Yapay Zekâ Okuryazarlığı

Abstract

Teknolojik gelişmelerin zirvesinde olan yapay zekâ günümüzde hayatımızı önemli ölçüde etkilemekte ve kullanım alanları giderek genişlemektedir. Bu bağlamda, bireylerin yapay zekâ teknolojilerini anlaması ve etkili bir şekilde kullanabilmesi için yapay zekâ okuryazarlığı kavramı önemlidir. Yapay zekâ okuryazarlığı, yapay zekâ kavramlarını ve tekniklerini öğrenmeyi, yapay zekâ tarafından sunulan bilgileri eleştirel bir bakış açısıyla değerlendirmeyi ve toplumsal fayda odaklı içerikleri analiz ederek yeni uygulamalara entegre etmeyi içerir. Bu doğrultuda, bu kavramın önemine yönelik olarak, bu çalışmada, literatürde yer alan araştırmalar temel alınarak yapay zekâ okuryazarlığı kavramı açıklanması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda yapay zekâ nedir?, yapay zekâ okuryazarlığı nedir? ve yapay zekâ okuryazarlığının önemi ve eğitimi nedir?, araştırma sorularına cevap aranmıştır. Çalışmada, yapay zekânın gelişimi, yapay zekâ okuryazarlığının tanımı ve toplumlar için neden önemli olduğu gibi konular açıklanmıştır ve bu sayede çalışmanın literatüre katkı sağlanacağı söylenebilir. Sonuç olarak, bireylerin yapay zekâ teknolojileriyle uyumlu bir şekilde yaşamalarına katkı sağlayacak bir anlayış oluşturulmuştur.
